“Jennifer was incredible with our cat, Fifi! She stepped in right after the hurricane passed, and Fifi took to her immediately – quite a feat since Fifi’s usually pretty shy. It was such a relief knowing she was in caring hands, and the updates and photos she shared brought us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“Emma has been an absolute angel of a sitter! Almond, who is usually very shy and timid, warmed up to her right away. Even playing and purring in her presence, which was so comforting to see while we were away. Miso, our other sweetheart, is a social butterfly and wasted no time cuddling and playing with Emma. We came home to two very well rested and happy kitties. Emma was very responsive and handled every request without any issues, which made our vacation even more relaxing. She truly went above and beyond for our girls and our home. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you so much for the wonderful care! ☺️”

About: From cats, dogs, chickens and ferrets, I’ve grown up around all animals and know how to care for their specific wants needs and personality types. I am a full time student but taking care of pets has been a normal part of my day. I am currently taking classes online so my schedule is very flexible. Whether it’s feeding or changing water before I head to class and letting a pet outside during a break it has become routine for me. In my home I make sure my animals food and water bowls are always clean. If they’ve made a mess for any reason that will be cleaned up as soon as possible. I also understand certain animals have physical needs or wants so cuddling or walking softly around the house is understandable.

About: When I was in high school I took 3 years of veterinary technician class and got my cva. I’ve worked at a vet clinic taking care boarding and hospital pets for 4 years. I’ve own my own dogs and even fostered some. I’m currently unemployed but I am a single mother so I have plenty time for any scheduling and time for your furry babies. At the moment I’m available for most times. I don’t have a fenced in yard and I have a roommate, who has a cat, and two young children so I won’t be providing any boarding services at my home.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for many years and have experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving dogs attention, and keeping their normal routines while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, so I’m patient and attentive to their individual routines. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and boarding depending on the day. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I have two friendly dogs of my own and have experience caring for pets for friends and family. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also happy to provide updates while you’re away.

About: I’ve raised my dogs from puppies to seniors. I have experience with dogs that are reactive and might yell a little when new people come to their home. I love large dogs, especially ones that think they fit in your lap! I work from home, part-time, and with flexible hours so pet care fits easily into my weekly schedule. I do have regular health appointments, but those are known well in advance for scheduling. Up front, I am physically disabled; I can take your dog out to use the bathroom, but I cannot take them on proper walks. Everything else is fair game. Your dog will still get lots of play time, treats, cuddles, and attention while I care for them :) As for cats, don’t worry, I can still scoop the litter box!

About: I've had the privilege of handling and caring for different cats and dogs of various ages and temperaments. I have cared for feral cats, stray dogs, shelter surrenders, rescues, fosters, family and friend's pets. Over the years I've gained experience with the guidance of veterinary professionals, volunteers, and animal enthusiasts! As young as 11 years old I began to understand and hone in on my ability to empathically and responsibly care for other living animals. Now 24, I'm continuing to expand my knowledge and skills in the animal care world to give the best nurturing and love to all of the furbabies I can! I can enrich, play, feed + water and walk +/or hangout with your canine/feline pal(s) at the times avaliable in my schedule and remain open/flexible within those time frames Monday to Friday. I assist the animals I am care for by ensuring they are fed, watered, medicated, and engaged with at appropriate/scheduled times. They will have plenty of engagement with play, walks, cuddles/pets, treats/rewards, and/or simply relaxing around them (depending on the individual). I love being in nature and being able to take any animal able to outdoors with me (within the confines of their mobility and indepedent circumstances)(supervised of course). As for cats, if there is a catio area or the ability to go outside then I will take them out so they may enjoy that! I can provide safe and comfortable enrichment through games, toys, and puzzles you have to keep your pets feeling great during our time together.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, so much so that I made it my career! I grew up with many pets, including a cocker spaniel, Dalmatian, two greyhounds, and a cat I picked out when I was just 6 years old! I’ve always known I wanted to work with animals from a young age, and have a career in zoo keeping! This means I worked with animals every single day, and have the training skills and experience to give your fur babies the best care! I’m currently working 4 days a week, with my days off being Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. Sometimes those change, so contacting me is the best way to know my availability! I will always provide the safest environment for your pets. I am very attentive to any behavioral changes and illnesses that may come up, and have the experience to deal with most situations. I will also always provide a high level of communication with you about your pets!

Julianna was extremely reliable, and so compassionate caring for our cat while we were away! We were truly blown away by her attention to detail and her calm nature… She was willing to look out for a few specific things on our list without hesitation. We were so pleased and felt so comfortable knowing that Mochi was in good hands, and it allowed us to enjoy our getaway so much more. We will definitely be rebooking her soon for another weekend away! Highly, highly recommend.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Dover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dover is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 881 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dover. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
